A French Bistro Inspired Backyard Garden Party Rustic Chic Wedding - Devon & Joel by Jennifer Eileen Photography

Devon & Joel got married... in the most lovely of French Rustic Chic style that it makes my heart skip a beat each time I catch a glimpse of one of these beautiful photos.  Filled with nostalgic vintage details, this sophisticated garden party wedding by Jennifer Eileen Photography was inspired by a french bistro with its leisurely yet chic ambiance.  In lieu of a dance floor/party reception this sweet & stylish couple chose to have a dinner party with an accordion player serenading the four course meal.  Tres Magnifique!


Dramatic draped linens, the most perfect lighting, and old fashioned hurricane lanterns hung from hand welded high sheep hooks (by the grooms brother) transformed the groom's parents backyard into - dare I say it - a fairytale land. 

& the paper for this wedding was divine.... wood stamped wedding invitations and escort cards of chip board tags with individualized button/fabric combination's that corresponded to their seating tags so fun and unique! (and I love how they are separated by bride & groom side!)




These tables... oh where do I begin with these tables... there is burlap, and moss, and mason jars, and babys breathe, and vintage glassware - really does it get any better?!



and that dress - oh that dress!


I simply adore everything about this beautiful celebration.  The love, care & attention to every last little detail is truly evident and I am so happy for this sweet as can be couple. Congratulations Devon & Joel and thank you & Jennifer so much for sharing your gorgeous day with us!

  13. Where do I begin? Is it the splash of color on the tree, making the perfect backdrop? Is it the decor? Of the family style seating? It's just gorgeous! The images are beautiful, Erin! This is right up your alley...and mine because I love all things French. Did you know that? :-)
